Srinagar, July 13 - Restrictions were imposed in Srinagar and other towns of the Kashmir Valley Monday to foil a separatist march to the heart of this city on martyrs' day.

It was on this day in 1931 that 22 people were killed outside a jail in an uprising against Dogra rule in Kashmir.

Moderate Hurriyat Conference leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq had asked people to gather at the martyrs' graveyard at Khawaja Naqashband Sahib's shrine in the old part of this city and later march to downtown Lal Chowk.

Authorities late Sunday moved police and paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) reinforcements into various areas of the city including localities around Lal Chowk to foil the march.

Heavy deployments of security forces have also been made in other towns in the valley, where restrictions have also been enforced.
